Future Impact
No matter what happens, one of the co-authors of the study Jacqueline Moline, mentioned to Time that she hopes above all else that the results help bring the issue of asbestos in talcum powder and talc-based products to greater light and that “anything you use on your body or in your body, you want to be careful [about].” Mass tort lawyers like Boesen Law help protect individuals impacted by hazardous products.
